Hi,
I am user of Lyx, and for a little problem I uninstaled the program. When I
was installing Lyx again, everything is right during the process, I follow
(I guess!) all the instruction, and it end successfully. But when I star
Lyx, show this message:
"LyXTextClassList::Read: no textclasses found!"
and the program is closed. I reinstalled the program several times, and
maintaining the internet connection during the installation process and
when
I try to use it, but it doesn´t work.
Sorry but I a little desperate, do you know how it can work again? (my OS
is Windows XP, the version that I try to install is 1.4.3-5, I have already
installed MikTex 2.5 updated, Ghostscript and ImageMagick.)

Several things can cause this (all curable). If you have MikTeX set to
automatically download packages as needed, try setting it to deny
downloads. Then delete whatever LyX installed in your user directory
(which will be C:\Documents and Settings\<your id>\Application
Data\LyX1.4.x unless your home is somewhere else) and start LyX again.
If that doesn't work, open a DOS prompt in the parent of you home
directory (C:\Documents and Settings\<your id>\Application Data for most
people) and run
<path to LyX>\python\python.exe <path to LyX>\Resources\python.py
then try to start LyX. If that doesn't work either, post whatever
output you got in the DOS window.
If you're not sure where your home directory is, open a DOS window and
run 'set h'; the settings for HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH provide the answer.
